From the Buffalo News:
Update, 1:25 p.m.-- Several Buffalo Sabres lived in the neighborhood where the plane crashed and experienced its aftermath.
"I heard the plane coming," said defenseman Teppo Numminen. "I was in my bed and I heard it and thought it sounded really weird, really close to us. Then I heard a little poof afterwards and I was thinking, "That doesn't sound good, doesn't sound right.' So I looked out of my window and I saw the red sky and I knew something was wrong."
Added defenseman Jaroslav Spacek: "I heard the fire trucks and ambulances coming and I remembered that it was pretty bad weather when I was driving home for dinner."
Coach Lindy Ruff, who lives about two miles from crash scene, had this to say:
"It's an incredibly sad day for our city and we've talked about it that this is going to reach and touch a lot of people. You've got to get through it. It's an area where a lot of us live. Everybody is going to know somebody that's touched by this. It's a tough day for Buffalo."
